Systems with Hysteresis by Mark A. Krasnosel'skiǐ, Aleksei V. PokrovskiǐEnglish | PDF | 1989 | 429 Pages | ISBN : 3642647820 | 25.6 MB
Hysteresis phenomena are common in numerous physical, mechanical, ecological and biological systems. They reflect memory effects and process irreversibility. The use of hysteresis operators (hysterons) offers an approach to macroscopic modelling of the dynamics of phase transitions and rheological systems. The applications cover processes in electromagnetism, elastoplasticity and population dynamics in particular. Hysterons are also typical elements of control systems where they represent thermostats and other discontinuous controllers with memory.
